Forza Horizon

Some of you that like the Forza series will be pleased by this, got to play a demo stage of this at the britcar 24h last night and all i can say is wow, the graphics are second to none and the best thing is that it still has Forza physics so hasnt gone the way of going completely arcade like when they turn it into a free roam game

I have a pre order in, but I'm still on the fence. The Barn finds are what made me go ahead and pre order, but then when I hear stuff about smashing fences to gain points I wonder if I did the right thing or not.

I've played demo on my Xbox 360 minutes ago and I have to say that's strongly reminds me Dirt series (2 & 3). Maybe from all that talking and graphics

BTW. It will be a great game to have some break from FM4 sometimes - I've preordered my copy today. I think it's worth it...

I have not tried the demo yet, but from what I've seen the menu system look like Dirt 2 for sure.

Trebor901 · 11 October 12, 18:59

the rest of it reminds me of Test Drive Unlimited

i think its a step in the right direction, demo is good and can't wait for the full game.

Really disappointed at some of the cars that have been dropped from this game like all of the Vauxhalls/Opels and the Renault Clio 200, yet rubbish like the new Focus saloon and the Twingo are there

I tried the demo this weekend. I'm still on the fence about it. It reminds me a lot of Grid. I can seeing having fun with it, but I thing it would get old really fast.

The Focus saloon is traffic only, and the Twingo is future DLC, no Renaults are on-disc.

I put together a full car list: http://www.pez2k.net/horizon/

There are 127 cars minimum, but with five preorders, buying the Collectors' Edition, discovering all 9 hidden barn finds, and being gifted the remaining Unicorn cars, that goes up to 153 drivable cars in total.

No drivetrain conversions!!! That is soul-crushingly disappointing!

There's no Porsche is the EA decided to own it again.

I enjoyed the demo as a casual racer, so I just ordered Horizon on sale. While I wait for it to ship, I've realized I'll probably want to pick up FM4 in the future and I found my way here looking into NFS: Shift / Shift 2 for a PC racer. I'm just disappointed that I'm too late to sign up for Project CARS.

@gpanic: You can still sign up in pCars, they extended the funding-phase!
